I'm Emily, a native Californian living in Valencia, Spain. I have lived here for 3 years tutoring students of various levels in primary schools. I received a bilingual education for the entirety of my educational career and now I am happy to help students understand the use and benefits of learning new languages! I studied my undergraduate degree in California, United States, where I am from. I majored in Spanish Language studies, with an emphasis in Spanish-English translation. I am currently a Master student in Valencia, Spain, while working as a Spanish tutor for students.

Next year I am going to the University of Exeter to study sports science, after taking a few years out of education due to COVID. At GCSE level I got predomantly 8's and at A levels I got awarded ABB from the government (though if I took the exams I would have gotten higher). Outside of education I love anything to do with sports, whether that be playing them or just watching them. I am a avid gym goer and used to be a Great British athlete when I was 14-16! Now however, I just casually play sports for fun, with my favourite sports being rugby, swimming and waterpolo. Also in the Summer, I love to spend most of my time down the beach surfing!

Lower Level: English National 4/5 & GCSE: English Scottish Higher: English Scottish Advanced Higher: English Exam board experience: None Languages: English (native), German (native), Gaelic (basic competency), French (basic competency) SEND experience: None Preferred Student Age Groups: Secondary School, National 4/5, Higher About me: I am a creative, relaxed and friendly English tutor originally from the Highlands with a 1st Class Honours degree in Drama and Contemporary Performance, currently studying for my Master's in Theatre Studies. Having left secondary school in Scotland with seven Highers and an Advanced Higher only four years ago, as well as having experienced studying online during the pandemic while at university, I understand the challenges facing students right now. I joined GoStudent in May 2023, and since then have been working with students across multiple age groups, from KS2 to GCSE. My teaching background is in youth theatre and drama classroom contexts - I was the assistant tutor for the LAMDA Grades 1-5 at Eden Court Theatre, Inverness from 2017-2020, and the director of Millburn Academy Drama Club from 2017-2020. It was here that I developed my teaching style, which focuses on identifying gaps in students' knowledge and skillsets and facilitating a student-focused approach in which I work with the student to explore the techniques that are right for them. Working with the students at LAMDA involved developing their close reading skills to extract information about character and context from a monologue and exploring effective memorisation techniques for line-learning with each individual student, and this individualised, student-led approach is essential to my teaching. I am particularly skilled in literacy, comprehension, and essay-writing. My drama background informs my tutoring, as I aim to bring some flair to lessons, while balancing fun with learning! I believe in removing all barriers to educational achievement, and have always striven to be fair, kind and open-minded to the young people I teach, seeing students not just as grades, but whole people, and supporting them throughout their education with empathy and compassion. Outside of teaching I'm an avid bookworm, film buff, and baker.
